    Abstract

    Distributed software development poses extra difficulties in terms of communication, coordination and awareness. Those difficulties usually imply more time consumption that causes productiveness reduction deriving finally in delays. So, projects where such kind of development is needed have to deal with them in order to ensure the success of the project. The case project has adopted this development approach due to its nature. The main goal of the project is to develop a cloud solution for enhancing collaboration and transparency between manufacturing companies forming a collaborative network. In order to implement it, the overall solution has been divided into several pieces, having many interdependencies among them. Thus, different working teams geographically spread from different organizations have participated in the implementation, integration, verification and validation tasks. This paper explains how the case project has organized the working teams, infrastructure, procedures and practices to guarantee the success of the project.
